Better way to hide most of fields

[Marcela Maslanova]

We are currently masking a lot of fields in our form and only a few are on a create screen for new Stories reported by a customer.

We are using a code similar to my snippet, but I wonder if there is a way to hide all fields on the screen and then enable only some. It would be definitely easier to maintain.

Snippet from our template:

def fieldNamesToHide = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D']

for (fieldName in fieldNamesToHide) {

   def field = getFieldByName(fieldName)

   field.setHidden(true)

}

Hello @Marcela Maslanova ,

Perhaps you can try the below code:-

for(def i: getFieldScreen().getTabs()) {
    for(def j: i.getFieldScreenLayoutItems()){
        getFieldById(j.getFieldId()).setHidden(true)
    }
}

The code above will hide all fields available on the screen.

Hope this helps.

Regards.

Awesome and so easy! It does work and mask everything with error, but nevermind that. I can hide only some tabs.

btw do you have any idea why some fields refused to be hidden? I already found out that some are special and need to be accessed by Id, not by name. Nevertheless I'm unable to hide for example Sprint.
